AutPlay® Therapy
AutPlay® Therapy is a play and behavioral therapy approach to working with children and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), dysregulation issues, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. It integrates models of play therapy and behavioral therapy along with relationship development in a collaborative model to assist children and adolescents in gaining beneficial skills and abilities. AutPlay® Therapy was created by Dr. Robert Jason Grant and is both therapist-led and parent-led.
Through AutPlay®, therapists will work with both the child or adolescent client and their parents to improve skill deficits in the areas of emotional regulation, social functioning, and relationship connection. When children can learn to self regulate, possess social skills that relate to their environments, and learn appropriate and meaningful relationship connections, they are less likely to have behavioral issues and more likely to function in their day-to-day environment successfully.
